Undead Swarms

Published 8 April 2026

Collection of undead swarm miniatures including bone waves and spider-skulls

This is a post to show some of my undead swarm miniatures. I have two types: the bone swarm, which is basically a wave of bones, and the animated skulls that are half skull, half spider.

Here's a close-up of these skulls. I'm not sure where they come from, maybe from Helldorado, or maybe from another brand.

Three spider-skull variants painted in different color schemes

Here you can see the three different ones. I tried to give them slightly different colors so they can be recognized a bit on the battlefield.

Reaper Bones bone swarm miniatures on circular bases

These are swarms from Reaper Bones. It's not really resin, not really plastic, I'm not entirely sure what it is. It bends quite easily. I added a bit more to the bases to make it look like there are more bones.

You can see the technique here: I took small pieces of spaghetti and glued them to the ground. I think I made the spaghetti pieces a bit too big. I should have spent a bit more time and made them smaller, and potentially added a few more skulls and rib cages. I added some, but I think the effect would have been greatly improved if I had added more.

And finally, here's an overview of everything.
